a lifetime supply of almond extract & honey
This week I’ve been working on organizing our kitchen. It’s one of the spaces that has been bugging me the most (organizationally speaking). I hadn’t moved things around since we moved in and, after cooking in this kitchen for a year and a half, it has become clear that some things were put in the […]
half-finished stairs
I always have to fight the urge to wait to post something until it’s completely finished. As I shared in yesterday’s post, I went to a concert over the weekend where Jason Gray performed a half-written song. This also brings to mind that some of my favorite pieces in the Musée d’Orsay and the Louvré […]

non-sponsored follow-up Sleep Number bed review
In December of 2017, I received a Sleep Number bed as a part of a blog sponsorship and I shared an initial review of it (as a part of that sponsorship) in April of 2018. You can find that post HERE if you’re interested. I am sometimes asked about products I receive through sponsorships and […]
Instagram Q & A | Business
I got so busy with other things, that I left this series hanging! A few weeks ago (months at this point), I opened my Instagram Stories up for questions and I’ve been answering most of those in blog posts. If you missed those posts and want to see them, you can find them here… Instagram Q […]
